Description of Color and Music The color red represents blood and flame, which represent death. Hades is the god of the Underworld, which is the world of death, therefore the color red is applicable to this situation.
The music I have chosen is a chaotic mixture of intensity and dissonance. Hades is somewhat the Greek equivalent of Satan. He resides is the land of death, so the intense sadness the music portrays in its chaotic form is plenty relevant.
